Mobile Maintenance Equipment Systems

Mobile Maintenance Equipment Systems (MMES) is a critical initiative that aims to enhance the readiness of combat and combat support systems through a system of systems approach. The program focuses on providing two-level maintenance capability to the Warfighter, significantly increasing the capability of forward maintenance units to conduct necessary battlefield repairs. This supports Soldier Lethality, Next Generation Combat Vehicle (NGCV), Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF), and addresses Gaps 10 and 17. The MMES family of systems includes Metal Working and Machining Shop Set (MWMSS), Fire Suppression Refill System (FSRS), Armament Repair Shop Set (ARSS), Hydraulic Systems Test and Repair Unit, Next Generation Shop Equipment Welding (NG SEW), Next Generation Shop Equipment Contact Maintenance (NG SECM), Forward Repair System (FRS), Standard Automotive Tool Set (SATS), and Refrigeration Tool Kit (RTK). These interconnected maintenance systems provide a holistic repair capability in all environments, meeting the Army's two-level maintenance philosophy and supporting the current force while also providing modular configurations to meet specific needs.

The specific objectives of each component within the MMES program are outlined as follows:
- Metal Working and Machining Shop Set (MWMSS): This system containerizes and consolidates numerous metal working capabilities into one expeditionary system for the Allied Trades Military Occupational Specialty, impacting three HIGH RISK gaps enabling rapid repair at the point-of-contact through fabrication using additive manufacturing capabilities.
- Fire Suppression Refill System (FSRS): The FSRS fills a gap in the Army as the only deployable refill system able to produce Nitrogen and refill all combat platform Fire Suppression and Nitrogen bottles, supporting combat systems such as Abrams, Joint Lightweight Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), Stryker, Ground Mobility Vehicle (GMV), Night Vision Device (NVD), and Paladin.
- Armament Repair Shop Set (ARSS): The ARSS dramatically increases the Army's ability to execute maintenance and forward repair on all weapons and armament systems from Small Arms to towed artillery and howitzers, directly supporting Soldier Lethality, NGCV, LRPF, as well as addressing Gaps 10 and 17.
- Next Generation Shop Equipment Contact Maintenance (NG SECM): This system is a fabricated enclosure mounted on a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle with trained maintainers that conducts immediate field maintenance, providing rapid maintenance on the battlefield at the point of need in LSCO and Contested Logistics environments.
- Refrigeration Tool Kit (RTK) Base: The RTK Base provides a unit with consolidated, standardized tools needed to meet the refrigeration maintenance mission. It fills capability gaps recently identified with the Military Occupational Specialty 91C, Utilities Equipment Repairer.

Overall, these components directly influence the Army's ability to meet regulatory requirements while enhancing combat equipment maintenance capabilities.
